The University's Responsibility

Both Liverpool Hope University and you as placement provider have a role to play with regards to students’ health and safety whilst on placement.

Liverpool Hope University will;

• Prepare the student for the placement and ensure they are aware of general health and safety aspects.

(This however is of a general nature and cannot include the specific information needed for the role provided to them as part of their placement, particular circumstances within your organisation or the surrounding environment).

• Give the student an opportunity to feedback to us as regards any problems they have experienced with regard to health and safety whilst on placement.

• Respond to this by informing you, and;

• Give you the opportunity to feedback to us any concerns that you have regarding the student or the placement arrangements.

During the placement we expect our student to prove to be an effective and reliable individual however you will appreciate that during this period the student is under your control and therefore the primary duty of care and consequent liabilities must rest with you as placement provider. The University requests that you as placement provider will treat the student as one of your employees with regards to their health, safety and welfare.
